The Apollo Aspire XP Winter tire for passenger cars is designed with consideration of the specific conditions of the so-called "European" winters. This model demonstrates the greatest efficiency on wet and snowy surfaces, distinguishing itself in such conditions with precise handling and reliable coupling properties.
The tread pattern is distinguished by an increased width of longitudinal and a multitude of transverse grooves. This allows for the intensive removal of not only water but also its heavy mixture with snow from the contact patch. The tread contains lamellas of several types. In the central part, wavy cuts are used, which improve longitudinal coupling. The shoulder zones contain "three-dimensional" self-locking lamellas. Such elements also form additional coupling edges, but at the same time limit the mobility of the blocks, increasing the accuracy of control and stability during maneuvering.
Key Features of Apollo Aspire XP Winter
- wide grooves provide resistance to aquaplaning and intensive self-cleaning of the tread from snowy slush;
- two types of lamellas improve handling on slippery surfaces;
- the dense arrangement of blocks in the central part increases the stability of the trajectory, prevents rapid wear of the tread, and reduces noise during movement.
